Wisconsin National Guard license plates

National Guard license plates are available to any Wisconsin resident who qualifies as a current or retired guard member. A qualified person must be an owner or lessee of the vehicle with National Guard plates, or the beneficiary of a trust that owns or leases the vehicle. The plates may be personalized with one to seven characters.

Annual registration fee if you do not have plates or your current plates expire within the next three months.

If the vehicle is NOT titled in your name, send:

A completed title application form MV1 or MV11 (if purchased through a Wisconsin dealer).

All required documents and fees, including the annual registration fee or a valid plate to transfer for credit.

$15 issuance or $15 annual personalized plate fee.

If you already have National Guard plates and are applying for a decal only, complete the vehicle information for the vehicle currently registered with National Guard plates on page three of the
MV2929 application form. No additional proof of eligibility is required.

No refund or adjustment will be made for a change of choice
or spacing after the plates are ordered or if the application is
unclear or incorrectly completed.

WisDOT may refuse to issue, or may recall after issuance, a
request that may be offensive to good taste or decency,
misleading or conflicts with any other license plate.

After you receive the Certificate of Registration, allow 4-6
weeks for the manufacturing and mailing process before the
plates arrive.

Change from personalized to regular plates

If you later decide to re-register with standard license plates, return a copy of your Certificate of Registration with a request for standard plates. Include the regular registration fee if your plates will expire within the next three months.

Temporary plate required

To legally operate your vehicle, you must display license plates within two business days of purchase. If you do not have current plates, apply to a DMV service center or a temporary license plate agent for a temporary plate while your National Guard plate application is processed. An agent may charge a plate fee and/or service fee.

Release of information

WisDOT uses the information on this form to issue National Guard license plates. Under open records laws, WisDOT must make nonexempt information available upon request. If you want your name and address withheld from mailing lists of 10 or more individuals, complete and return page three of form MV2929.
